huh... "younger" doesn't do a thing for me, except to look at. No risk there.

Booze - I'm one of those lucky folks who gets sick after 3 drinks (2 on an empty stomach) so even if I manage to get drunk enough to do something really regrettable there's little chance I'd want to.

Skydiving - I've never tried it but I have about 80 hours on a paraglider and a couple of hard landings w/injury, but nothing so bad as the metabolic damage a high carb diet has done to me.

Carbs wins hands down.

About 10 minutes later I remembered that chips have carbs and I was hella pissed at my self. When it comes to younger men you would have to be innebriated to stand to listen to them talk for very long and I don't know about you but there would be no way I would ever jump out of a plane unless I was drunk. So thats why I say that whiskey is the most dngerous.


Talking?! Who said anything about listening to them TALK?!

So that's how one can catch an STD from a potato! You just need LOTS of whiskey.


"<Hiccup> No, no, baby. Shhhhhhhh. You wreck it when you talk. Just stand there and look pretty. Oh......and when you get dressed, bring your socks and your potato chips home with you. I ain't fixin' to go see a doctor or do nobody's dirty laundry but mine. <hiccup>"

...which brings us back to skydiving.

The young Jedi speaks truth. I know some of y'all have been awakened after a night of drunken debauchery, by the feel of cookie crumbs beneath you as you roll over in a parachute and bump into your barely-legal flight instructor. Oh yes...some hussies are frontin' in this-here thread!
